Dangerous drivers are criminals .

Simple observation is enough to es-
tablish that motorists are on their best
behavior, faithfully abiding by speed
limits and all the other rules, when pa-
trol cars are in sight or believed to be
in the vicinity. The ones who imperil
travel on the highways are those who
throw the book away when they. think
the coast is clear. It is the duty of the
police to prevent accidents, and their
best weapon in defence of the public

GQME observations by a senior offi-
' omer of the RCMP on the subject of
‘Yéckless driving should be marked by
rad] cthose including some of the lay
“magistrates—who are inclined to treat
‘traffic offences endangering life as
misdemeanors, to be punished accord-
ingly. They were made by the RCMP

port of the employment of guile in the
‘apprehension of dangerous drivers.
he point he emphasized was that ser-
lous traffic offences are crimes and
.that sympathy should not be wasted
on drivers caught in the act, even if
_traps have been set for them.
» Chat argument merits earnest
‘thought by those who oppose the use
: of ghost cars, radar and other devices

against reckless driving is conceal-
ment. - a
Unobtrusive patrol cars manned by
officers in plain clothes have’ been
used to good purpose on the highways
and streets of British Columbia for a
long time now, and it is a mark of com-
mon sense that the early objections of
some of the motorists’ organizations
have since been withdrawn. Elsewhere
‘in Canada, however, strenuous oppo-
' sition still hampers the operations of
the police. It is a difficult attitude to

understand in view of the appalling —
slaughter that is taking place on the
roads. Since the end of the last war,
31,970 Canadians have been killed in
traffic accidents, a total very little
short of the Canadian death toll in the
war itself, | | oo
